@BGonzalezGaya It must be a wonderful experience for the students to have a lecture with various beautiful fish as a background. So amazing 🫶🐟🐠🐡🪝👏

@BGonzalezGaya @MangroveID There are some actions how we can help conserve mangrove ecosystems. Save our mangroves, save our planet.

@BGonzalezGaya It is very heartbreaking since people must deal with this kind of situation along the year, it becomes worse when the rainy season is coming

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

In fact, the destruction of mangrove forests has several negative consequences, such as the loss of settlements due to abrasion. Let's check out what is happening in Demak Regency, located in the northern Java coastal area, Indonesia #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

@BGonzalezGaya To help mangrove ecosystem, we can participate in planting mangroves by engaging with local community. It is also good to involve in mangrove cleanup. Even we can try to reduce single-use plastic consumption since much of the plastic will eventually wash up into the mangroves

The conservation of endangered ecosystems such as mangroves is at high risk and it needs public support, particularly from local community #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

Local government could create environmental regulations, conduct training, and also be responsible in project financing as well as supervision on mangrove rehabilitation #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

The mitigation strategy carried out by the community is by planting mangrove trees, which will be fully supported by Demak Regency office #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

To reduce the vulnerability of Demak Regency communities to the impacts of coastal erosion, both local people and government have significant role to mitigate toward rob flooding, particularly in Bedono village #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

This illustration shows the evidence how mangrove ecosystems play an important role in flood protection. Mangroves provide incredibly effective natural defenses, reducing flood risk and damages #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

Here is the comparison of mangrove ecosystem in northern coastal areas of Java (Semarang and Demak) in 2015 and 2020. In summary, there is 14 percent loss of mangrove forests from 167 Ha in 2015 to 144 Ha in 2020 #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

Actually, the coastal abrasion that occurred in Demak Regency reached 16 villages, one of them is Bedono village #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

The phenomenon of tidal flooding has attacked in the last decades. It is strongly correlated with the mangrove damage, not only in Demak Regency, but also along the north coast of Java #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

Degradation of mangrove forests will result in deterioration ecological functions, negatively impacting local communities #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

Mangroves are one of the most productive ecosystems and provide a wide variety of ecosystem services that are beneficial to both local communities and national economies #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

However, 20 percent (637,624 hectares) of mangrove areas have been degraded due to coastal development, such as aquaculture, logging, reclamation, and pollution #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

An estimated 20 percent of the global's mangroves can be found in Indonesia (3.3 million hectares) - the largest mangroves in the world #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation

[MangroveID @MangroveID]

Mangroves as unique ecosystems, are declining at alarming level #ALERT #Mangroves #conservation
